The
Crystal
Maze
Live
Experience
in
London
proved
to
be
a
unique,
immersive,
and
fun
experience
for
me
and
my
work
colleagues.
The
atmosphere
is
lively,
with
enthusiastic
actors
(shout
out
to
Conrad,
our
Maze-Master,
who
was
brilliant)
and
special
effects
that
transport
you
into
the
game's
world.
The
challenges
are
creative,
diverse,
and
well-designed,
making
it
a
great
activity
for
friends,
families,
and
co-workers.
There
were
14
of
us
split
into
two
groups
of
7,
and
the
experience
took
about
90
minutes.
We
played
2
games
each
-
though
the
other
group
(our
comptetiors!)
played
17
games,
and
ended
up
beating
us.
There
were
other
discrepancies
between
the
scoring
that
also
led
to
them
beating
us,
including
their
Maze
Master
allowing
them
to
win
a
crystal
when
they
got
1-out-of-3
correct
in
a
musical
game,
whereas
we
had
achieved
all
3.
So
the
scoring
is
very
subjective
between
Maze
Masters.
Also
quite
a
few
of
the
games
were
broken
-
one
the
light
was
too
dark
to
see
the
tiles
properly,
and
we
were
encouraged
to
use
our
phone
torches
if
we
had
our
phones
(though
phones
&
photo-taking
is
banned
in
the
experience),
and
there
was
a
shooter/target
game
which
we
were
all
ready
to
do,
but
then
it
didn’t
work.
However,
there
is
a
huge
variety
of
games/challenges
to
play
that
is
decided
by
the
Maze
Master,
so
every
experience
is
different,
including
the
experience
between
teams.
There
are
loos
to
use
before/after
the
games
(I
imagine
it
would
be
dressy
impossible
to
take
a
loo
break
during
the
experience),
a
bar
serving
alcoholic
drinks
after
the
game
(as
well
as
soft
drinks
before/after),
and
available
&
free
lockers
for
you
to
store
bags,
valuables,
phones,
and
jumpers.
The
entire
building
is
incredibly
hot
so
you
don’t
need
layers
inside
the
experience
(we
visited
early
January,
and
did
the
experience
in
t-shirts).
Also
wear
very
comfortable
shoes
-
trainers
/
sneakers
are
ideal.
There
are
some
games
which
involve
sand,
and
one
colleague
had
a
tough
time
in
some
leather
boots
with
a
tiny
heel.
There’s
a
bit
of
running
involved,
as
well
as
a
slide
which
will
take
the
rubber
off
any
nice
shoes.
